She spoke about her first experience leaving Albania during the communist period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI was 28 years old when I crossed the border and left my small country. It was the first time I held an American dollar bill and made my first exchange with that currency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">At that moment, the free world was pursuing its great dream \u2014 globalization, without walls and without borders. While we were escaping from communism, you were dreaming of the global village. None of us knew what awaited us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">For someone who has lived in a country that has produced more history than it could absorb, today I know \u2014 we all know \u2014 more, even though I would never go back. We know the advantages of globalization, which has connected people in unimaginable ways. Music, film, and art now travel freely, allowing us to know one another better,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Linda Rama added that communication today is faster than ever. According to her, <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Albania is rediscovering its place in global history<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. Quoting <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Tony Blair<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, she emphasized that globalization is a reality, giving the example of how school bags have evolved \u2014 from being filled with notebooks to now including iPads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe still haven\u2019t learned how to live and behave globally in these new circumstances. We couldn\u2019t have known then, and we still don\u2019t know enough now. We try to manage an extremely complex and dynamic world with the practices, beliefs, and echoes of the past, instead of understanding and adapting to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Are we still living in a globalized world? Yes, we are \u2014 because, as Tony Blair says, globalization is a reality. Do you remember how, in our generation, we used to carry our schoolbags by hand?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Today, no child carries it by hand; they all wear it on their backs. In fact, over the years, the bags became larger and heavier, to the point that no child could carry them otherwise. They go to school every day bent under this weight, because inside that bag there\u2019s not only the notebook but also the iPad. This is the backpack of globalization \u2014 on the shoulders of my 11-year-old son, Zaho \u2014 full of learning opportunities, but at times chaotic,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wife of Prime Minister Edi Rama, Linda Rama, during her speech at the dinner for guests of the International Forum on Security and Global Policies, stated that globalization has brought people closer together and created new opportunities for cooperation.
